i'm so proud that president obama called for more support for c.t.e. in his state of the union message last evening. now, the most important step i think we can take this year to support c.t.e. is to fully re-authorize the perkins vocational and technical education act. currently the perkins act is authorized at a level set in 2010. which doesn't reflect the reality of a modern economy where more workers are looking at high-skilled fields. more and more employers need highly skilled workers. job openings from employers they can't fill because they can't find the workers with the right skills to fill the jobs they do have. meanwhile, our unemployment rate remains unacceptably high. closing the skills gap is one important step that we can take to ensure that workers can fit and fill the needs of expanding industry. today and in the future. after all how can we expect or help businesses to start a company or expand their company or relocate jobs from overseas if we don't have the workers with the right skills to do the jobs that would and are available. s
